Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments from aged donors exhibit an impaired vascularisation capacity

Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments from aged donors exhibit an impaired vascularisation capacity

Adipose tissue-derived microvascular fragments are promising vascularisation units for applications in the field of tissue engineering. Elderly patients are the major future target population of such applications due to an increasing human life expectancy. Therefore, we herein investigated the effec...
